Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Romancing
the Trend or a page from Daufa's Local Cafeteria.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Did you do you remember Romancing the Stone the movie?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I saw it like very young in a hotel, I
think when I was like too young, and I.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Think like whenever it first came on HBO or something
is when I saw it and I was like, I
don't understand any of this.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I remember there being a part where there like sliding
down a muddy hill and yeah, I was like, oh,
it's like a water slide. This is like grown up goonies.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's a water park film.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
No, no, no, that's I'm like, I'm gonna go to
my favorite Kurt Russell movie, Big Trouble in Little China.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Okay, yeah, yeah, but it is so weird to have
that as a reference, like that Romancing the Bean. Maybe
maybe there's like a different cultural context or it's literally
talking about the tourist, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, I don't know. It could be.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I don't I'm Burdbank isn't the most progressive city, so
I would sooner believe someone was like a big Kurt
Russell Kathleen Turner fan. Yeah, And I was like and
for my second wave coffee shop, I.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Shall name this Romancing the Bean.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Mmmmmm. Brent the Utter said he for some reason he
has that on Beta Max and still hasn't seen it.
I feel like that's the most appropriate movies that.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Have im Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, Like, what's this
weird ass tape?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's a Beta Max. Do you know? Like TV?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
When I worked at ABC News, like in the early aughts,
they TV like still had shit on Beta Max. Like
that's where like everything, Yeah, BITASP was like what all
the old like b roll footage that you were pooling from,
Like when you had to like dig through the crates
of old episodes or old footage, it was on Beta Max.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Now you can just use AI or stock footage from
another conflict around the world and.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Just say yeah, that's that's that's here. Fine, Yeah yeah,
just do that.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Now you Now you just like take a little chip
implanting your brain and say I.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Want the news to be this, dude. It makes a
little footage for you. You know, like those stock media websites
that you know, back in the day, we used to
be like, oh I need some b roll, I'll go
to like a stock image website or stock video website
to buy, like to get some stuff to put in
a video or something. Yeah, I'm now seeing ads or
they're like, don't buy the AI shit. Look at the difference.
(02:26):
Here's the human made b role and here's the shitty
AI one.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Don't pick it. And I'm like, oh man, you guys
are in the fight for your life too.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, yeah, we're all fighting for our lives out here, folks.
When I was when I when I worked at ABC News,
the executive producer of one of the shows that worked
on was obsessed with like shots of the moon. He
would always like transition between things like shots of the
moon through like some tree branches. So that's just like
(02:53):
libraries of like shots of the moon and.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Ikabod ass crand.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Just like knew that the if you wanted to get
the executive producer on board with your story, you just
like insert a little shot of the moon. I love
that story about a venture capital company. I love that
cross from the moon into a quarter.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
With a wolf's hell. For some reason, as it blurs out,
all right, my name is Jack O'Brian. That over there
is Miles Gray. This is the episode where we tell
you what is trending on Tuesday, October seventh, the local
GOP in Portland in Oregon is trying to use footage
(03:33):
from elsewhere to get people scared of Antifa and yeah,
the left wing violence that is being visited upon our streets.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Because they don't want to see that.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
The visuals of someone dressed in like a Stitch from
Lelo and Stitch costume or the frog standing outside of
the ice facility just sort of pointing to the absurdity
of the entire situation. They need visceral fire, angry teeth
gnashing shit to try and get people to really be like, well, yeah,
I guess you do need to put in the army
to stop the crime or the First Amendment happening. But yeah,
(04:06):
the at Oregon GOP on Twitter, they posted like images
of protests in South America to try and make the
situation seem much more worse, like as if this is
happening outside of an ice facility. But again, you can tell,
how do we know it's not from America because the
police shields read police, Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And I think that's police. Ci A put in the
police and the CIA together one.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I'm not yeah, I'm not a polypign major. I'm a
poly ci a major is what I do. That's what
I'm We're all the poly Cia majors here. Obviously this
is America, because I mean, I guess this could be
in America according to them, because we all remember the.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Way this place is going.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, it's either that or the iconic nw A song
ching La police that. I think that's what they maybe
are referring to. But again, and journalists pointed out this nonsense,
and then the Oregon GOP just replied with we aren't journalists,
We're just bad memurs, right, Okay, But yeah, I mean,
this isn't a surprise concerning the fact that the bullshit
(05:13):
descriptions of what's happening in Illinois, Chicago, Portland, et cetera
have only increased since Trump was rebuffed by a judge
he appointed twice now, and it's also led to Trump
starting to say things like Bortland did, what's happening is
real insurrection. Y, it's kind of like an insurrection.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Some say it might be an might might they might
be doing.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
An insurrection there as a way to try and be
justified invoking the insurrection. Actually rerection vibes over here know
what I'm saying exactly. Yeah, I mean, just trying to
follow everything all the fuckery that ICE is doing around
the country. Is like I feel like the mainstream media
(05:56):
is really it's not doing the best job. You really
have to go to citizen journalists. I don't know if
it's because The New York Times is afraid of being
like sued or what, but it's really like being covered
by citizen journalists, and ICE has now resorted to they
(06:16):
now like beat people and arrest people just for record,
just for having a phone and like being there essentially.
So I don't know that, which again feels like the
sort of escalation that the mainstream media should be covering,
because now citizen journalists are being arrested, and then the
(06:37):
citizen journalists covering the citizen journalists being arrested are being
arrested and beat in the streets. Yeah. I mean, this
is the same thing with like, you know, the woman
that was shot by ICE when she was in her car,
When they're like, we're getting boxed in by all these
these people, and like there's so many conflicting reports about
like they're like, well, that's what you're saying, as the
people to be like we shot somebody, but the evidence
(07:01):
doesn't seem to back that up. And then again, like
I'm reading the CBS News version of this story about
the woman that was shot in Brighton Park and they're
all just doing they're just all talking like well, according
to the US Attorney's Office, according to the DHS, according
to CBP, according to ICE agents.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It's just bullshit both sides official reporting where they're like,
we just have to cover the status quo from the center,
no matter how radically far to the right the police
state gets, we just have to stand in between them
and the people they're against and be like.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Clash and you know, just call it a clash. I
mean again, like you read the Guardian and there their
description of it was sort of like they were taunting
this woman before shooting her and all this other shit
going on, And yeah, you really, at the very least,
the clock is really ticking on, like mainstream American journalism,
because it's just it's every day you're getting the most
(08:01):
outlandish lives being fed to you as if it's fact.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, you know, recent reporting are that there's an increase
in arrests and deportations, but it's mainly being driven by
people with no criminal record. They're seeing a dramatic rise
and incidents involving people impersonating immigration and customs enforcement, which
we talked about that being a danger and them seeing
(08:25):
early examples of that. But it's happening a lot now,
like it's there. There's a huge spike in that. And
in the past it was mainly being done in past
administrations was mainly being done to commit financial crimes against
people by being like we're going to deport you unless
you like put no give money. Right now it's being
done like violently, like you know, kidnappings, yeah, gunpoint yeah, gunpoint.
(08:50):
So it's it's bad out there. Shout out to the
citizen journalists who are doing it, you know, who are
out there reporting on it. And you know they say,
if you you are there for it, you know when
you're taking video, obviously be careful, but you want to
answer in your video as you're recording when this is happening,
(09:12):
like specifically what day and time that this is happening
and where like not just like Los Angeles but cross streets. Yeah,
and you know, if you can possibly get the name
of the person who is being detained, you know, try
and get that too. That's how you can be able.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
To already track these people, you know, because they're hiding
them from their own lawyers.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
A lot of the time.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, a lot of times what they're doing is like
they'll do a raid and then take them to a
nearby second location where they then reshuffle, you know, probably
further abuse people. Like that's where some of some people
are catching them, is like they'll take them to an
office parking lot where like five ice vehicles just like
pull up and pull people out and start like hitting them.
(09:56):
And then that's that's where people kind.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Of have been them. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Well, you know again, the one thing that I mean,
the only thing that gives me any kind of hope
is to just see that people actually are are sticking
up for their neighbors. You know, like you saw people
try and like wrestle away someone who's being apprehended, and
they did it successfully. But I mean, you know, the
values of human beings in this country seem to be
mostly intact when they see someone in their neighborhood get
(10:24):
snatched away by masked goons for no reason. Obviously, these
people being armed to the hilt is can you know,
do something to how much how much risk someone's willing
to tolerate in doing something like that. But you know,
I think the real scary version would have been if
just people were like quiet, yeah, being like yeah, the only.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Way they can they can just like abstract the humanity
out of people, but like people still have their humanity intact.
It's just like when they make it an abstract threat
with like you know, videos, bullshit videos of different conflicts
and being like this is what's coming for you. You know,
that's that's how they get people. But when you see
(11:06):
another person being treated this unfairly, but but not the
mainstream media. Apparently, the mainstream media defines that as clash,
a clash between I don't know that maybe some good
news that this is all going to be over in
a matter of moments, because the rapture is supposed to
happen any any minute now.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Any minute now, we uh, any minute now.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
The guy look, we talked about it. He shifted it.
He was like, actually, I'm actually should have been going.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Off the Julian calendar. I was going off the Gregorian calendar.
So God fucked up, not me.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Or maybe or just like a week apart. I assumed
like the two days because they're different.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Damn one's like three hundred. It's like a difference of
like a day and a half.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So I guess over.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Many years, it can be a two weeks or some shit.
Either way, Come on, y'all, I mean, who knows. Maybe
it's going to happen right after we'd done recording and
no one listens to this episode because the rapture took
all you good Christians, I gang to the Kingdom of
Heaven to be seated at the right side of the throne.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I don't know which is better, getting to listen to
this episode or getting to sit at the right hand
of God and judge everybody whoever made fun of you.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
When you're going into the sky during the rapture. You
can keep your AirPods.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
In this man, this is I've got one in. I've
only got one in so I can like basically hear you.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I'm listening to more borks overrated.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, it's also a big week in addition to all
the people who are about to be raptured, big week
for Donald Trump because the Nobel Committee is announcing their
prizes and we don't know spokes.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, I mean so people who uh, you know, don't
pay attention to the Nobel Peace Prize or like how
it's awarded, or like, I think he's got this one
in the bag, I know, because it keeps asking for it.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
There's like a lot of you know, betting odds sites
that have him like on the leaderboard.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
But an idiot stupid, isn't it vibes based?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, other people have pointed out that that's not usually
how it wins, and you have to like contribute to peace,
in some lasting peace, And they do seem to have
a weird bias towards people who believe in climate change
and science. The Nobel Committee as.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He is, he hasn't said that already, Like he wants
it so bad, but he can't denigrate it exactly, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
That's always been like he's always wanted the approval of
the New York Times. He's always wanted the approval of
like the mainstream media like SNL.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well, maybe Larry Ellison can buy the Nobel Committee or
something and make it a farce. Also, the I stopped
the Infinity Wars, obviously, people remember that the Infinity War
with Fanos. They say he couldn't be stopped. But I
broke the idiot, didn't we Yeah, we did. Another actually
of a Nobel Prize. News is they awarded the Nobel
(14:16):
Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which went to three scientists
for their discoveries related to the immune system. And I
hear that and I'm thinking RFK Junior. I'm thinking he
sees people who are immunologically compromised.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I'm thinking Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I'm thinking Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Unfortunately it went to nobody. I'd ever heard of what
one of the winners was. Actually not even of it,
Like he was off the grid. I heard about that.
He was like in the rockies or something like hiking
in the mountains with his wife as part of a
digital detox.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Science Nobel genius taking a digital detox, You idiot. You
didn't even hear about your I think it was like
twelve hours had passed or something.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah, and I didn't know that he had won a
Nobel Prize. A rep from his lab said, he's living
his best life fucked, so that's where he is. He
only found out about the award because his wife briefly
turned on her phone when they had to fix something
in their car and saw all the congratulatory texts, and
she screamed and he was, I guess, like not next
(15:25):
to her, and assumed that she was being attacked by
grizzly bear because that's who they were.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Dude, I love this guy, Fred Ramsdell.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Just let ramsell, Dude.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I'm out here, just fucking taking a walk, bro, put
the phone away.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
What's what's going on?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Howe you see a bear?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
He won the Nobel whatever, fine, whatever, living my best
life either way.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That's right. Fuck. I thought I was gonna get to
kill a bear.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
But your gun away, Fred.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
He like barrel rolls up with a the gun drawn
like John wickenshit Ramsdell. Let's take a quick break. We'll
come right back, and we're back.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
It can't be denied, Miles that we are back. And
uh Marjorie all right? As a funny bummer man, that
was really I thought it was going to happen during
the break, because, as we talk about, when we go
on a break, we cease to exist. We exist in
a weird liminal state.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
The sensation you have as a person when you're about
to fall asleep is kind of where we are when
we go and we'll be right back and then our
eyes roll back.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, depending on whether you skip the ads or not.
Like the if you listen to the full ads, we're
gone for you know, two minutes. If you skip past
the ads, we're only gone for like fifteen.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
It doesn't matter because the way we've at the time dilation,
we experience like being in like a third level dream
and inception is like for Jack and I spend ten
year together and that's right, three three dreams deep, and
then my wife has to give me the kick and
then we come out of it.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, and I'm sucked. I'm not going to say exactly
what my little like built in belief that I have is.
You know though, like his wife has the one where
like it's locked away that she's actually in a dream,
no matter what level she's at. Right, I'm not gonna
say what mine is, but it evolves a ride on
the Ocean City boardwalk. Uh, let's talk about MTG Marjorie
(17:30):
Taylor Green.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, day and broken Clock, Broken Clock Wall to get
again first time the broken clock where we're like.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
What the fuck?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
When she's like, we got to get these Epstein files
out I don't care what Trump says. They don't fucking
scare me. They should be scared of the fucking truth.
Now she's come out with an I guess, coherent take
on our current political reality. This time, she said she's
open to negotiating with Democrats on healthcare in order to
end the shutdown. She's come out and said that basically
rising costs are untenable for her constituents, her family, but
(18:03):
was also sure.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
This is how you know she's still in there. She
had to shit on Obama. So this is this is
what you said.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Let's just say as nicely as possible.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I'm not a fan, but I'm going to go against
everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire
this year, my own adult children's insurance premiums from twenty
twenty six are going to double, along with all the
wonderful families and hardworking people in my district. I was
not in Congress when all this Obamacare or Affordable Care
Act bullshit started.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
The thing that she's talking about that is keeping her kids.
Yeah yeah, yeah, it's bull insurance from doubling, that's bullshit.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Uh huh okay, But with sure, go on, it's a bullshit.
I got here in twenty twenty one. As a matter
of fact, the ACA made health insurance unaffordable for my
family after it was passed with skyrocket.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, okay, got shut up.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Shut up, shut right.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So she's just like, I mean, it fucking sucks and
I hate it, but we do also gotta save it.
We do need it to need this prevent credit tory
insurance companies from just raising the rates on everybody so
that nobody can go to the hospital without going broke. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean, look, God bless a broken clock. And I
(19:12):
think she's also doing some botoks too. She seemed to
have a bit of a new like a she snashed
tot forehead. Hell yeah, that was that was My main
issue with her was that her forehead was not taught
and not taught enough. Yes, exactly, tauten up that forehead
and uh, we'll we'll now now we'll talk now, I'll.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Think about just off the DC Metro.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, it's just so funny, like they're disdain for Obama
where they clearly did you see the did we talk
about the clip where Trump was talking about how Obama
goes downstairs. He's like he's just like going down popping
down the stairs. Yet you know, like some manispect ship.
You know, Obama goes downstairs, right, he got down on
his wife. Gross would do that? Unmanly Uncle June upstairs
(20:00):
this house?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
What wait, he says he will.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
June and DJ Khaled are the only two people I
take advice from the bedroom.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
He was talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I forget what this was.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It maybe the speech I don't know if it was
the Speech of the Pentagon, but it was some speech
I think last week where he was talking about going
downstairs and how you have to be careful because past
presidents have fallen down and it like defined their legacy.
So you can tell that this is like what he's
thinking about, and like what he's being told is like that.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I think this is it? Hold on, yeah, is this it? It?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Walk nice and easy and not have You don't have
to set any record. Be cool, be cool when you
walk down, but don't don't bop down the stairs. So
one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him
as a president, but he would bop down those stairs.
I'd never say, you go down the stairs, wouldn't hold
on it said it's great. I don't want to do it.
(21:02):
I guess I could do it, but eventually bad things
are gonna happen. And it only texts once, but he did,
allows E.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Javis president, Oh my god, he walked down the stairs
bit at b at bat bat.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's our presence.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
It's got to be an insult sandwich with him, you know,
it's yeah, just get wrap the wrap the compliment and insults.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Him walking down with too much energy like just a
thing that he can't do, whereas like he has to
walk down like lock leged. You're cooked.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
When you covet another man's mobility, that's usually not know
what I mean, that's not a good sign, quickly coveting
someone else's mobility. Sure, I'll watch sports and be like, damn,
I wish I was as nice as this player with
the ball or something like that. But that's in a
fantasy world. Not like that's right, man, I wish I
could hug my kids right. Not where you're like, I'm
(21:55):
so much better than him. Doesn't everybody agree I'm better
than Lebron? The way Lebron James plays basketball, He's all
like boop pupping around, dunk amazing past dunk.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Isn't the announced becoming.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
He's the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, the decision of all decisions, Decision, the Decision Part two.
I think it's a viral marketing stunt that fooled everybody.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Just uh that's what everyone.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Everyone was like, this is an ad and I'm like,
I don't care because honestly I'm like, leave la please,
but uh, this is.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
So it was just an advertisement.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, it was just mad.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, it was like, don't be the boy who cried retirement. Man,
no one's gonna give a ship.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Pretty.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I mean, people will give a ship because he's one
of the greatest to ever do it. But don't funk
around with people like this right now.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Every time anytime there's like a sequel to a big
media event, but it like doesn't really make sense. I
think we did it with Ferris Bueller.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Where people are like a Ferris Bueller sequel is in
the offing, and it's like, well that isn't possible. What
what do you mean He's not in high school anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
That that suck shit. And then it was like a
Super Bowl lad like Lebron doing Decision Part two to
be like I'm coming back to the Lakers when nobody
thinks I'm leaving. Yeah, makes zero sense. Anyways, you know,
Trump's talking about mobility, openly coveting another man's mobility. Seems
like he might be having thoughts of mortality.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
No, why why would he? Why would he think about that?
Why would he NonStop talk about.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
If I go to heaven?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
We like, go to heaven, I lay me down to sleep,
I pray Father, may.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I may I arise at your side in your heavenly kingdom.
So we've talked about that. He's been the last six months.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
He's brought the heaven thing up at least four times,
like distinctly about like maybe I'll get into heaven for
stabbing these wars, or like hopefully I go to heaven.
Or he did that fundraising email where he's like, please
help me get to heaven. So you're speaking at an
event for some new White House initiative called America Praise,
(24:04):
where people pray for the nation, like in the lead
up to the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of our country.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So because church is state now.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
But anyway, while he was being asked, like just an
underhand er question from a friendly journalist like.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Hey, what about this you know, faith blah blah blah,
Like what do you have to say about that.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
He goes on this whole spiel about how heaven is
certain part this is he said, quote, you know, there's
no reason to be good. I want to be good
because you want to prove to God you're good, so
you go to that next step, right, that's very important
to me. I think it's really very important. Uh huh wait,
there's no reason to be good. It's such a wild
(24:45):
statement that everybody, like people are just kind of skipping past.
But yeah, he's I mean, look, he's a theologian, and
they should this is I mean, he he has like
the intellect of me at seven years old when I
met like Lutheran first grade and they're talking about praying
in heaven and then I'm like, so, what the only
reason to like be good is so you go to
(25:06):
like fantasy world after this?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Is that the only reason?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Keep it, everybody, that's it the promise of this or
the threat of the other thing? What about just seeming this.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
It's almost like he just heard of heaven. You know,
he's like just gaming this out now where he's like, so,
I guess I'm hearing about this thing heaven where like
it's a lot of people. You ever notice this A
lot of people talking about this, specifically the voices in
your head.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Have you ever notice the voice you're not going there?
How do you combat that? Father? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I mean, I think this is just, uh, this is
something he's contemplating for whatever reason, whether or not that's
no reason. I mean, the yeah, you're like, oh wow,
I wonder if there's just a lot of health stuff
we don't know about or that isn't as obvious as
we're seeing, like the swelling and hand bruising and the
lack of you know, coherent ideas coming president. This is
(26:07):
also I mean, we'll talk about this probably in the
tomorrow's main show, but like this, I feel like this
is why Stephen Miller is becoming more and more visible,
you know what I mean, because a lot of people
we've said this from you know, begins like a.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Brilliant political strategy on his part, on their part, because
they know that he reads so well, famously humble. Donald
Trump was like, you know what, I don't need all
the shine, Steven. You get out there and you do
some Nazi stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
We love it.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
But I think I mean, that's like we said from
the beginning this administration is less of like Trump being
like I get to be president. It's more just that
like these people have like when ants like bring a
big dead bug back to their layer, Like all these
sycophant and maga people are like dragging Trump to the
top and being like like puppeteerium, like yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You like this, right, Grandpa? You want to do this though?
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, yeah, sure, will I go to hell? Yeah you're
going to have him.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Baby, You're going to having You're the man you're gonna love.
I just I think anytime that Steven Miller is the
face of anything, it is good for people who are opposed.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
To that thing.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, yeah, he's the worst salesman of anything.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
God unbelievable. All Right, those are some of the things
that are trending on this Tuesday, October seventh. We are
back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
get your vaccines wasted, can get your flu shots. Don't
do nothing about white supremacy nope, And we will talk
(27:32):
to you all tomorrow.

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Romancing
the Trend or a page from Daufa's Local Cafeteria.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Did you do you remember Romancing the Stone the movie?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I saw it like very young in a hotel, I
think when I was like too young, and I.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Think like whenever it first came on HBO or something
is when I saw it and I was like, I
don't understand any of this.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I remember there being a part where there like sliding
down a muddy hill and yeah, I was like, oh,
it's like a water slide. This is like grown up goonies.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's a water park film.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
No, no, no, that's I'm like, I'm gonna go to
my favorite Kurt Russell movie, Big Trouble in Little China.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Okay, yeah, yeah, but it is so weird to have
that as a reference, like that Romancing the Bean. Maybe
maybe there's like a different cultural context or it's literally
talking about the tourist, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, I don't know. It could be.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I don't I'm Burdbank isn't the most progressive city, so
I would sooner believe someone was like a big Kurt
Russell Kathleen Turner fan. Yeah, And I was like and
for my second wave coffee shop, I.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Shall name this Romancing the Bean.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Mmmmmm. Brent the Utter said he for some reason he
has that on Beta Max and still hasn't seen it.
I feel like that's the most appropriate movies that.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Have im Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, Like, what's this
weird ass tape?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It's a Beta Max. Do you know? Like TV?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
When I worked at ABC News, like in the early aughts,
they TV like still had shit on Beta Max. Like
that's where like everything, Yeah, BITASP was like what all
the old like b roll footage that you were pooling from,
Like when you had to like dig through the crates
of old episodes or old footage, it was on Beta Max.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Now you can just use AI or stock footage from
another conflict around the world and.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Just say yeah, that's that's that's here. Fine, Yeah yeah,
just do that.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Now you Now you just like take a little chip
implanting your brain and say I.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Want the news to be this, dude. It makes a
little footage for you. You know, like those stock media websites
that you know, back in the day, we used to
be like, oh I need some b roll, I'll go
to like a stock image website or stock video website
to buy, like to get some stuff to put in
a video or something. Yeah, I'm now seeing ads or
they're like, don't buy the AI shit. Look at the difference.
(02:26):
Here's the human made b role and here's the shitty
AI one.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Don't pick it. And I'm like, oh man, you guys
are in the fight for your life too.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, yeah, we're all fighting for our lives out here, folks.
When I was when I when I worked at ABC News,
the executive producer of one of the shows that worked
on was obsessed with like shots of the moon. He
would always like transition between things like shots of the
moon through like some tree branches. So that's just like
(02:53):
libraries of like shots of the moon and.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Ikabod ass crand.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Just like knew that the if you wanted to get
the executive producer on board with your story, you just
like insert a little shot of the moon. I love
that story about a venture capital company. I love that
cross from the moon into a quarter.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
With a wolf's hell. For some reason, as it blurs out,
all right, my name is Jack O'Brian. That over there
is Miles Gray. This is the episode where we tell
you what is trending on Tuesday, October seventh, the local
GOP in Portland in Oregon is trying to use footage
(03:33):
from elsewhere to get people scared of Antifa and yeah,
the left wing violence that is being visited upon our streets.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Because they don't want to see that.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
The visuals of someone dressed in like a Stitch from
Lelo and Stitch costume or the frog standing outside of
the ice facility just sort of pointing to the absurdity
of the entire situation. They need visceral fire, angry teeth
gnashing shit to try and get people to really be like, well, yeah,
I guess you do need to put in the army
to stop the crime or the First Amendment happening. But yeah,
(04:06):
the at Oregon GOP on Twitter, they posted like images
of protests in South America to try and make the
situation seem much more worse, like as if this is
happening outside of an ice facility. But again, you can tell,
how do we know it's not from America because the
police shields read police, Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And I think that's police. Ci A put in the
police and the CIA together one.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I'm not yeah, I'm not a polypign major. I'm a
poly ci a major is what I do. That's what
I'm We're all the poly Cia majors here. Obviously this
is America, because I mean, I guess this could be
in America according to them, because we all remember the.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Way this place is going.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, it's either that or the iconic nw A song
ching La police that. I think that's what they maybe
are referring to. But again, and journalists pointed out this nonsense,
and then the Oregon GOP just replied with we aren't journalists,
We're just bad memurs, right, Okay, But yeah, I mean,
this isn't a surprise concerning the fact that the bullshit
(05:13):
descriptions of what's happening in Illinois, Chicago, Portland, et cetera
have only increased since Trump was rebuffed by a judge
he appointed twice now, and it's also led to Trump
starting to say things like Bortland did, what's happening is
real insurrection. Y, it's kind of like an insurrection.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Some say it might be an might might they might
be doing.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
An insurrection there as a way to try and be
justified invoking the insurrection. Actually rerection vibes over here know
what I'm saying exactly. Yeah, I mean, just trying to
follow everything all the fuckery that ICE is doing around
the country. Is like I feel like the mainstream media
(05:56):
is really it's not doing the best job. You really
have to go to citizen journalists. I don't know if
it's because The New York Times is afraid of being
like sued or what, but it's really like being covered
by citizen journalists, and ICE has now resorted to they
(06:16):
now like beat people and arrest people just for record,
just for having a phone and like being there essentially.
So I don't know that, which again feels like the
sort of escalation that the mainstream media should be covering,
because now citizen journalists are being arrested, and then the
(06:37):
citizen journalists covering the citizen journalists being arrested are being
arrested and beat in the streets. Yeah. I mean, this
is the same thing with like, you know, the woman
that was shot by ICE when she was in her car,
When they're like, we're getting boxed in by all these
these people, and like there's so many conflicting reports about
like they're like, well, that's what you're saying, as the
people to be like we shot somebody, but the evidence
(07:01):
doesn't seem to back that up. And then again, like
I'm reading the CBS News version of this story about
the woman that was shot in Brighton Park and they're
all just doing they're just all talking like well, according
to the US Attorney's Office, according to the DHS, according
to CBP, according to ICE agents.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It's just bullshit both sides official reporting where they're like,
we just have to cover the status quo from the center,
no matter how radically far to the right the police
state gets, we just have to stand in between them
and the people they're against and be like.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Clash and you know, just call it a clash. I
mean again, like you read the Guardian and there their
description of it was sort of like they were taunting
this woman before shooting her and all this other shit
going on, And yeah, you really, at the very least,
the clock is really ticking on, like mainstream American journalism,
because it's just it's every day you're getting the most
(08:01):
outlandish lives being fed to you as if it's fact.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, you know, recent reporting are that there's an increase
in arrests and deportations, but it's mainly being driven by
people with no criminal record. They're seeing a dramatic rise
and incidents involving people impersonating immigration and customs enforcement, which
we talked about that being a danger and them seeing
(08:25):
early examples of that. But it's happening a lot now,
like it's there. There's a huge spike in that. And
in the past it was mainly being done in past
administrations was mainly being done to commit financial crimes against
people by being like we're going to deport you unless
you like put no give money. Right now it's being
done like violently, like you know, kidnappings, yeah, gunpoint yeah, gunpoint.
(08:50):
So it's it's bad out there. Shout out to the
citizen journalists who are doing it, you know, who are
out there reporting on it. And you know they say,
if you you are there for it, you know when
you're taking video, obviously be careful, but you want to
answer in your video as you're recording when this is happening,
(09:12):
like specifically what day and time that this is happening
and where like not just like Los Angeles but cross streets. Yeah,
and you know, if you can possibly get the name
of the person who is being detained, you know, try
and get that too. That's how you can be able.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
To already track these people, you know, because they're hiding
them from their own lawyers.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
A lot of the time.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Yeah, a lot of times what they're doing is like
they'll do a raid and then take them to a
nearby second location where they then reshuffle, you know, probably
further abuse people. Like that's where some of some people
are catching them, is like they'll take them to an
office parking lot where like five ice vehicles just like
pull up and pull people out and start like hitting them.
(09:56):
And then that's that's where people kind.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Of have been them. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Well, you know again, the one thing that I mean,
the only thing that gives me any kind of hope
is to just see that people actually are are sticking
up for their neighbors. You know, like you saw people
try and like wrestle away someone who's being apprehended, and
they did it successfully. But I mean, you know, the
values of human beings in this country seem to be
mostly intact when they see someone in their neighborhood get
(10:24):
snatched away by masked goons for no reason. Obviously, these
people being armed to the hilt is can you know,
do something to how much how much risk someone's willing
to tolerate in doing something like that. But you know,
I think the real scary version would have been if
just people were like quiet, yeah, being like yeah, the only.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Way they can they can just like abstract the humanity
out of people, but like people still have their humanity intact.
It's just like when they make it an abstract threat
with like you know, videos, bullshit videos of different conflicts
and being like this is what's coming for you. You know,
that's that's how they get people. But when you see
(11:06):
another person being treated this unfairly, but but not the
mainstream media. Apparently, the mainstream media defines that as clash,
a clash between I don't know that maybe some good
news that this is all going to be over in
a matter of moments, because the rapture is supposed to
happen any any minute now.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Any minute now, we uh, any minute now.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
The guy look, we talked about it. He shifted it.
He was like, actually, I'm actually should have been going.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Off the Julian calendar. I was going off the Gregorian calendar.
So God fucked up, not me.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Or maybe or just like a week apart. I assumed
like the two days because they're different.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Damn one's like three hundred. It's like a difference of
like a day and a half.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So I guess over.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Many years, it can be a two weeks or some shit.
Either way, Come on, y'all, I mean, who knows. Maybe
it's going to happen right after we'd done recording and
no one listens to this episode because the rapture took
all you good Christians, I gang to the Kingdom of
Heaven to be seated at the right side of the throne.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I don't know which is better, getting to listen to
this episode or getting to sit at the right hand
of God and judge everybody whoever made fun of you.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
When you're going into the sky during the rapture. You
can keep your AirPods.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
In this man, this is I've got one in. I've
only got one in so I can like basically hear you.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Shut the fuck up.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
I'm listening to more borks overrated.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, it's also a big week in addition to all
the people who are about to be raptured, big week
for Donald Trump because the Nobel Committee is announcing their
prizes and we don't know spokes.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, I mean so people who uh, you know, don't
pay attention to the Nobel Peace Prize or like how
it's awarded, or like, I think he's got this one
in the bag, I know, because it keeps asking for it.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
There's like a lot of you know, betting odds sites
that have him like on the leaderboard.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
But an idiot stupid, isn't it vibes based?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, other people have pointed out that that's not usually
how it wins, and you have to like contribute to peace,
in some lasting peace, And they do seem to have
a weird bias towards people who believe in climate change
and science. The Nobel Committee as.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He is, he hasn't said that already, Like he wants
it so bad, but he can't denigrate it exactly, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
That's always been like he's always wanted the approval of
the New York Times. He's always wanted the approval of
like the mainstream media like SNL.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well, maybe Larry Ellison can buy the Nobel Committee or
something and make it a farce. Also, the I stopped
the Infinity Wars, obviously, people remember that the Infinity War
with Fanos. They say he couldn't be stopped. But I
broke the idiot, didn't we Yeah, we did. Another actually
of a Nobel Prize. News is they awarded the Nobel
(14:16):
Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which went to three scientists
for their discoveries related to the immune system. And I
hear that and I'm thinking RFK Junior. I'm thinking he
sees people who are immunologically compromised.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I'm thinking Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I'm thinking Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Unfortunately it went to nobody. I'd ever heard of what
one of the winners was. Actually not even of it,
Like he was off the grid. I heard about that.
He was like in the rockies or something like hiking
in the mountains with his wife as part of a
digital detox.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Science Nobel genius taking a digital detox, You idiot. You
didn't even hear about your I think it was like
twelve hours had passed or something.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Yeah, and I didn't know that he had won a
Nobel Prize. A rep from his lab said, he's living
his best life fucked, so that's where he is. He
only found out about the award because his wife briefly
turned on her phone when they had to fix something
in their car and saw all the congratulatory texts, and
she screamed and he was, I guess, like not next
(15:25):
to her, and assumed that she was being attacked by
grizzly bear because that's who they were.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Dude, I love this guy, Fred Ramsdell.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Just let ramsell, Dude.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I'm out here, just fucking taking a walk, bro, put
the phone away.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
What's what's going on?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Howe you see a bear?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
He won the Nobel whatever, fine, whatever, living my best
life either way.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That's right. Fuck. I thought I was gonna get to
kill a bear.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
But your gun away, Fred.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
He like barrel rolls up with a the gun drawn
like John wickenshit Ramsdell. Let's take a quick break. We'll
come right back, and we're back.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
It can't be denied, Miles that we are back. And
uh Marjorie all right? As a funny bummer man, that
was really I thought it was going to happen during
the break, because, as we talk about, when we go
on a break, we cease to exist. We exist in
a weird liminal state.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
The sensation you have as a person when you're about
to fall asleep is kind of where we are when
we go and we'll be right back and then our
eyes roll back.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, depending on whether you skip the ads or not.
Like the if you listen to the full ads, we're
gone for you know, two minutes. If you skip past
the ads, we're only gone for like fifteen.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
It doesn't matter because the way we've at the time dilation,
we experience like being in like a third level dream
and inception is like for Jack and I spend ten
year together and that's right, three three dreams deep, and
then my wife has to give me the kick and
then we come out of it.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, and I'm sucked. I'm not going to say exactly
what my little like built in belief that I have is.
You know though, like his wife has the one where
like it's locked away that she's actually in a dream,
no matter what level she's at. Right, I'm not gonna
say what mine is, but it evolves a ride on
the Ocean City boardwalk. Uh, let's talk about MTG Marjorie
(17:30):
Taylor Green.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, day and broken Clock, Broken Clock Wall to get
again first time the broken clock where we're like.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
What the fuck?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
When she's like, we got to get these Epstein files
out I don't care what Trump says. They don't fucking
scare me. They should be scared of the fucking truth.
Now she's come out with an I guess, coherent take
on our current political reality. This time, she said she's
open to negotiating with Democrats on healthcare in order to
end the shutdown. She's come out and said that basically
rising costs are untenable for her constituents, her family, but
(18:03):
was also sure.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
This is how you know she's still in there. She
had to shit on Obama. So this is this is
what you said.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Let's just say as nicely as possible.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I'm not a fan, but I'm going to go against
everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire
this year, my own adult children's insurance premiums from twenty
twenty six are going to double, along with all the
wonderful families and hardworking people in my district. I was
not in Congress when all this Obamacare or Affordable Care
Act bullshit started.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
The thing that she's talking about that is keeping her kids.
Yeah yeah, yeah, it's bull insurance from doubling, that's bullshit.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Uh huh okay, But with sure, go on, it's a bullshit.
I got here in twenty twenty one. As a matter
of fact, the ACA made health insurance unaffordable for my
family after it was passed with skyrocket.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, okay, got shut up.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Shut up, shut right.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So she's just like, I mean, it fucking sucks and
I hate it, but we do also gotta save it.
We do need it to need this prevent credit tory
insurance companies from just raising the rates on everybody so
that nobody can go to the hospital without going broke. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean, look, God bless a broken clock. And I
(19:12):
think she's also doing some botoks too. She seemed to
have a bit of a new like a she snashed
tot forehead. Hell yeah, that was that was My main
issue with her was that her forehead was not taught
and not taught enough. Yes, exactly, tauten up that forehead
and uh, we'll we'll now now we'll talk now, I'll.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Think about just off the DC Metro.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yeah, it's just so funny, like they're disdain for Obama
where they clearly did you see the did we talk
about the clip where Trump was talking about how Obama
goes downstairs. He's like he's just like going down popping
down the stairs. Yet you know, like some manispect ship.
You know, Obama goes downstairs, right, he got down on
his wife. Gross would do that? Unmanly Uncle June upstairs
(20:00):
this house?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
What wait, he says he will.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
June and DJ Khaled are the only two people I
take advice from the bedroom.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
He was talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I forget what this was.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
It maybe the speech I don't know if it was
the Speech of the Pentagon, but it was some speech
I think last week where he was talking about going
downstairs and how you have to be careful because past
presidents have fallen down and it like defined their legacy.
So you can tell that this is like what he's
thinking about, and like what he's being told is like that.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I think this is it? Hold on, yeah, is this it? It?
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Walk nice and easy and not have You don't have
to set any record. Be cool, be cool when you
walk down, but don't don't bop down the stairs. So
one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him
as a president, but he would bop down those stairs.
I'd never say, you go down the stairs, wouldn't hold
on it said it's great. I don't want to do it.
(21:02):
I guess I could do it, but eventually bad things
are gonna happen. And it only texts once, but he did,
allows E.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Javis president, Oh my god, he walked down the stairs
bit at b at bat bat.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's our presence.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
It's got to be an insult sandwich with him, you know,
it's yeah, just get wrap the wrap the compliment and insults.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Him walking down with too much energy like just a
thing that he can't do, whereas like he has to
walk down like lock leged. You're cooked.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
When you covet another man's mobility, that's usually not know
what I mean, that's not a good sign, quickly coveting
someone else's mobility. Sure, I'll watch sports and be like, damn,
I wish I was as nice as this player with
the ball or something like that. But that's in a
fantasy world. Not like that's right, man, I wish I
could hug my kids right. Not where you're like, I'm
(21:55):
so much better than him. Doesn't everybody agree I'm better
than Lebron? The way Lebron James plays basketball, He's all
like boop pupping around, dunk amazing past dunk.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Isn't the announced becoming.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
He's the Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, the decision of all decisions, Decision, the Decision Part two.
I think it's a viral marketing stunt that fooled everybody.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Just uh that's what everyone.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Everyone was like, this is an ad and I'm like,
I don't care because honestly I'm like, leave la please,
but uh, this is.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
So it was just an advertisement.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, it was just mad.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, it was like, don't be the boy who cried retirement. Man,
no one's gonna give a ship.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Pretty.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I mean, people will give a ship because he's one
of the greatest to ever do it. But don't funk
around with people like this right now.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Every time anytime there's like a sequel to a big
media event, but it like doesn't really make sense. I
think we did it with Ferris Bueller.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Where people are like a Ferris Bueller sequel is in
the offing, and it's like, well that isn't possible. What
what do you mean He's not in high school anymore.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
That that suck shit. And then it was like a
Super Bowl lad like Lebron doing Decision Part two to
be like I'm coming back to the Lakers when nobody
thinks I'm leaving. Yeah, makes zero sense. Anyways, you know,
Trump's talking about mobility, openly coveting another man's mobility. Seems
like he might be having thoughts of mortality.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
No, why why would he? Why would he think about that?
Why would he NonStop talk about.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
If I go to heaven?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
We like, go to heaven, I lay me down to sleep,
I pray Father, may.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I may I arise at your side in your heavenly kingdom.
So we've talked about that. He's been the last six months.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
He's brought the heaven thing up at least four times,
like distinctly about like maybe I'll get into heaven for
stabbing these wars, or like hopefully I go to heaven.
Or he did that fundraising email where he's like, please
help me get to heaven. So you're speaking at an
event for some new White House initiative called America Praise,
(24:04):
where people pray for the nation, like in the lead
up to the two hundred and fiftieth birthday of our country.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
So because church is state now.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
But anyway, while he was being asked, like just an
underhand er question from a friendly journalist like.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Hey, what about this you know, faith blah blah blah,
Like what do you have to say about that.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
He goes on this whole spiel about how heaven is
certain part this is he said, quote, you know, there's
no reason to be good. I want to be good
because you want to prove to God you're good, so
you go to that next step, right, that's very important
to me. I think it's really very important. Uh huh wait,
there's no reason to be good. It's such a wild
(24:45):
statement that everybody, like people are just kind of skipping past.
But yeah, he's I mean, look, he's a theologian, and
they should this is I mean, he he has like
the intellect of me at seven years old when I
met like Lutheran first grade and they're talking about praying
in heaven and then I'm like, so, what the only
reason to like be good is so you go to
(25:06):
like fantasy world after this?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Is that the only reason?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Keep it, everybody, that's it the promise of this or
the threat of the other thing? What about just seeming this.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
It's almost like he just heard of heaven. You know,
he's like just gaming this out now where he's like, so,
I guess I'm hearing about this thing heaven where like
it's a lot of people. You ever notice this A
lot of people talking about this, specifically the voices in
your head.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Have you ever notice the voice you're not going there?
How do you combat that? Father? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I mean, I think this is just, uh, this is
something he's contemplating for whatever reason, whether or not that's
no reason. I mean, the yeah, you're like, oh wow,
I wonder if there's just a lot of health stuff
we don't know about or that isn't as obvious as
we're seeing, like the swelling and hand bruising and the
lack of you know, coherent ideas coming president. This is
(26:07):
also I mean, we'll talk about this probably in the
tomorrow's main show, but like this, I feel like this
is why Stephen Miller is becoming more and more visible,
you know what I mean, because a lot of people
we've said this from you know, begins like a.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Brilliant political strategy on his part, on their part, because
they know that he reads so well, famously humble. Donald
Trump was like, you know what, I don't need all
the shine, Steven. You get out there and you do
some Nazi stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
We love it.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
But I think I mean, that's like we said from
the beginning this administration is less of like Trump being
like I get to be president. It's more just that
like these people have like when ants like bring a
big dead bug back to their layer, Like all these
sycophant and maga people are like dragging Trump to the
top and being like like puppeteerium, like yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You like this, right, Grandpa? You want to do this though?
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yeah, yeah, sure, will I go to hell? Yeah you're
going to have him.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Baby, You're going to having You're the man you're gonna love.
I just I think anytime that Steven Miller is the
face of anything, it is good for people who are opposed.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
To that thing.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, yeah, he's the worst salesman of anything.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
God unbelievable. All Right, those are some of the things
that are trending on this Tuesday, October seventh. We are
back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
get your vaccines wasted, can get your flu shots. Don't
do nothing about white supremacy nope, And we will talk
(27:32):
to you all tomorrow.
